BACKGROUND: Long-term health risks for adults who donate kidneys are unclear. PURPOSE: To summarize evidence about mid- and long-term health risks associated with living kidney donation in adults. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and PsycINFO without language restriction from April 1964 to July 2017. STUDY SELECTION: Observational studies with at least 1 year of follow-up that compared health outcomes in adult living kidney donors versus nondonor populations. DATA EXTRACTION: Two investigators independently extracted study data and assessed study quality. DATA SYNTHESIS: 52 studies, comprising 118 426 living kidney donors and 117 656 nondonors, were included. Average follow-up was 1 to 24 years. No evidence suggested higher risk f...
